A Harvard Business Review article titled, The Uniqueness Trap, discovered that many project managers believe their new project to be so unique that the processes need to be built from scratch. This requires significant resources spent creating brand new systems and processes.
These researchers discovered, however, that it’s rare that these projects haven’t been done by someone else previously. Taking the time to learn from others who have done similar projects can save significant time and money.
In Ecclesiastes 1:9, Solomon said, “There is nothing new under the sun. Can one say about anything, “Look, this is new” It has already existed in the ages before us.”
When launching a new project, first research within your industry and beyond who else may have done something similar. Then learn from them.
